Brown is out of contract in the summer, isn’t he? I think this will be another group of players we’ve lost out on and the club need to do work to ensure that they don’t waste talented kids in the u18s etc in the coming years.
Why wouldn't Coxe benefit by playing in the lower leagues? It's a higher standard than he's currently playing at and he's clearly not ready for the Championship. There is a chance he could improve rapidly if we give him a chance in the first team, but there is also a chance that he gets horribly exposed and his development suffers accordingly.
